Hey, I saw your post in the IV community.

I'm an RPI alumnus (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute). They're also taking students from the area around RPI who were going to ANY Gulf Coast university, tuition-free (they'll have to handle room & board themselves, but the idea is they'd live at home and commute). Just an FYI. I posted the letter from RPI in my LJ.

Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for the info! Would you mind if I link to your RPI letter post?

[alissamarie.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead! :)

Done!

Since you used to be from RPI... do you happen to know Andy Cole? I met him years ago at an IV chapter camp, and then we overlapped a year when we were both interning at IV. Since I moved to NYC I've seen him a few times when he would visit the City.

If you know who I'm talking about, then what a small world it is!
